On the first day of the first year of the new year, the beautiful woman sent three desserts made by herself and the teenager to Mr. Chen, who was opposite, wishing them a happy Spring Festival.
Although there is no contact between them in normal times, and the communication between the teenager and Mr. Chen is limited to providing living expenses every month, but during the Spring Festival, it is not a bad thing to say a blessing to one's blood relatives.
After all, there is no deep conflict between them. Mr. Chen is not a competent father, but he also helped him get rid of his mother and is still supporting him in school.
In the past few months, Mr. Chen seems to have also reflected on it, and he is no longer the same as before, lest he can't avoid him.
The teenager tried to smile at Mr. Chen. It was probably the first time in recent years that Mr. Chen saw his smile, showing a surprised expression, then he rubbed his hands as if flattered, smiled at him, and stuffed him a red envelope, like an ordinary elder. Say: "Happy New Year and Happy New Year."
Mr. Chen tried to ask him about his studies again, and the boy answered them one by one. The atmosphere between the two eased, and after a while, Mr. Chen's younger son stuck his head out of the door, and when he saw the big beauty, he jumped up and down with joy. He knew the boy, but he didn't have the real feeling that it was his father's ex-wife and son. Looking at this "brother" was no different from looking at the neighbor's eldest brother.
The little child greeted the New Year happily, and immediately stretched out his hand greedily to wait for the red envelope or candy, but fortunately, the big beauty was prepared, gave it to him, and said goodbye.
In the second year of junior high school, the big beauty took the boy to climb the mountain outside the city. There is an ancient temple halfway up the mountain, which is famous far and near and attracts many tourists. The big beauty did not know where the news came from, saying that it was very effective to say goodbye there, so the two of them went up to welcome the Spring Festival crowd and climbed the mountain with difficulty.
Holding hands, they sweated a bit when they arrived at the ancient temple, and their palms were also soaked with sweat. The big beauty was carrying her own small backpack and complained repeatedly, either tired or hot. The teenager wanted to take a tissue from his pocket to wipe his sweat, one hand could not open the seal of the tissue, the teenager wanted to draw his hand, but the beautiful woman seemed to have some kind of obsession, she held his hand tightly, and would not let it go. open.
"It's been so long, it's not a big loss to let go now." The beautiful woman was very excited, "Let's go to worship like this, and we can show the strong feelings between us to the Buddha!"
He would have these childish thoughts from time to time, and the teenager always followed him.
The incense here is strong, and the green smoke lingers in the air. They walked through the crowd, passing old people with hunched waists holding incense, passing by noisy parents and children, passing laughing couples, all the way to the Buddha statue. The big beauty's palms are soft, but always firm and firm, even if they are swayed from side to side by the crowded tourists, those hands are not loose at all.
The big beauty knelt down on the soft cushion and prayed, "Buddha bless Xiaoxun and I with good health and all the best."
As if feeling that this is not enough, he continued to add his wish: "Bless Xiaoxun who encounters people and things he likes in the future, and be happy every day!"
The boy asked, "Aren't you praying for yourself?"
The big beauty didn't know why: "I prayed! Isn't that the first sentence?"
"I mean the latter sentence," the boy said, "Why do you only want me to be happy?"
The big beauty laughed: "Because I'm happy enough now, as long as I see you, I'm happy every day." He touched the boy's head, "You have encountered a lot of nasty things before, and you will have to ask the Buddha to help you in the future. You just have to make it up. Well, and praying that the two of you are a little too greedy, it's better to give you my share."
The teenager blinked, his dark and bright eyes stared at him, and after a while, turned to the Buddha statue.
The big beauty remembered that she had not officially worshiped yet, and lowered her head.
He heard the boy make a wish beside him: "I hope I can be with Rong Izumo forever in the future."
He bent down earnestly and bowed four times with the great beauty.
They continued to go up the mountain and climbed to the top of the mountain. The beautiful woman kept praising him for being smart. This wish and my two-way complement. But after walking for a while, the big beauty couldn't breathe because she talked too much, and had to rest against the roadside guardrail.
The young man took out water and gave it back to him, wiped the sweat off his head, and took care of him like a little adult.
Looking out of the guardrail, you can see a crowd like a long dragon, smoke like a cloud, and lush forests. The big beauty narrowed her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly hugged the boy tightly and kissed his forehead.
Their most intimate gesture outside was holding hands, never kissing.
"It would be a pity if I didn't kiss you at this time." The big beauty smiled, "But we should wait until the top of the mountain to kiss. It would be a pity to use up the biggest surprise now."
The young man suddenly had an inexplicable expectation of climbing the mountain, this time it was him leading the big beauty to go up.
The long ladder twists and turns around, hovering on the edge of the mountain, and then winding into the forest. They looked at the small waterfall in the road, crossed the bridge over the creek, and finally reached the top.
A Guanyin statue stands benevolently on the top of the mountain, holding a willow branch and a clean bottle. People who climb the top surround it, light incense, and pray and offer incense.
The boy suddenly approached him and asked, "Can I still make a wish now?"
The big beauty said: "Of course you can!"
Anyway, it's all superstition, and it's not up to you to think about how many wishes you want.
The big beauty quickly lit two more incense sticks, and went to put them in the incense burner with the boy, clasped her hands together, and recited a few words. The young man didn't say a word, closed his eyes, and was extremely peaceful.
When the beauty looked at him, she inexplicably saw a bit of piety on his face.
"What did you wish for?" the beauty asked him.
The teenager dodged his eyes, as if a little embarrassed, and told him, "I hope I can get into the university and major I want in the college entrance examination."
This wish is very realistic, but it makes the big beauty laugh.
"What university have you decided to go to?" The big beauty pinched his fingers.
"Think about it." The boy said, "B major in pheromone research."
Some time ago, he bought a lot of books and came back to read them, studied them carefully, and now he has made a decision.
The big beauty's eyes softened, and her face came closer to him: "So you want to mark me?" The tone was teasing, but also like joy, "My own efforts are not enough, and I have to ask Guanyin to bless me."
The boy just said, "Yeah."
He was quite sure, but he expected too much, and he was always afraid that there would be a sudden accident.
The big beauty was so soft in her heart. He looked at the young man who was still a bit shorter than him, and spat out the thing he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Then you have to work hard." The beautiful woman said, "If you really get admitted to the B university, I will change jobs and go with you to supervise your studies closely."
He kissed the boy's lips: "After all, I also really want to mark you."
